A Warden.s Mistake.

To the Editor OF the TELEGRAM HERALD:

L. H. Frink, and finally of their discharge.

victed, il would have before this been her
aided in the papers of the State.
When a conviction is got by these Game
Wardens." they trumpet their smartness
and send newspaper clippings OF it TO State
Warden Smith. But when they fail mum is
the word"
These game wardens are very gsmev-
when they win. il is now surmised that
" az put the Game Warden" anu deputy
she-i1 on a very "cold scent, as hunters
say. They went up twenty-five or thirty
miles in the woods and arrested the parties
mentioned, brought them here and jsiied
them. They also got four ola wormy, moth
eaten deer skins IS evidence. and dic not
know bat that they were fresh hides. Nor
did they learn this fact until about a month
afterwards, and on the day OF final adjourn
ment and trial. when II was suggested 60

fore these poor settlers were pat on trial. 20

struck them IS bright idea. so an old

old-just what the accused had all tee time
claimed. and now they were told they

dress. For il is too bad. simply ar ont

uaznslsnghtsr. was concerned IN the per
pelrstien Of enc Of the most shocking
tragedies recorded in the criminal anasls oi
the State. When hs vas about 10 years OF
sge in Dec. 1850, hs sent 70
visit the family Of his uncle.
James Augustine, who lived in New
Durham township. The household con-
sisted OF Mr.. aud Mrs. Augustine. two grown
soEs. Christian aud James. and thres little
girls. Henry had some candy and whisky
with him which lie offered 10 The family
with ths intention Of poisoning them, but
both we're so bitter and unpalataole that
none Of the members Of toe fam
Iy partook of them. AT midnight
Henry left the bedroom where he was
10 sleep with James aud made his way 10
the room where the old folks were sleeping
and shot his uncle aud aunt. The noise
brought the two sOns 10 the rescue aud
as Christian came down the stairs he re-
eeiyed q shot that killed him instantly.
lie then shot James, infiicting only
trivial hurt. James anu Henry im-
medlately closed and a desperate struggle
ensued for the possession OF the re-
yolyer, which was finally secured Dy James.
The murderer escaped. inally being heard Of
in Nsponset, ILL.,, where he formerly lived.
A watch was placed on girl who resided
there and with whom he used 10 keep com
pany and il was discovered that she
had mailed a letter 10 "William j.
Carothers." who was discovered a.
length 10 be the fugitive. The trivial
character OF the sentence imposed
upon him by the jury who returned ver-
dict of manslaughter only, was severely
condemned by everyone who had 4
knowledge of the crime and they have
never been satisfied that justice was done
in the case. Augustine was accord
ingly again re-arresttd today Immediately Y
upon his liberation. charged with hav-
ing killed his uncle, and ne will probably
have a hearing al the February term oi
court. Although the murders he COM
nitted occurred many years ago there IS
still an intense interest manifested in Henry
Augustine'e rearrett by parties familiar
with all the circumstances. and the second
trial appears likely 10 be much more SEN
sational than the first.
